Secret of Happiness

What u all think is the secret of happiness? It has been million dollar question and always will be, I say it is billion dollar question. It is for what you have been working through out ur life and still get short of it. How many of you think that happiness could be attained by money? The answers would be NO and that too 100%. Then why do we always compare or (associate, would be right word) with it.


If happiness would have been that difficult to get then a normal men might not have ever achieved. But why did we all languish for it?


The king of Bhutan has coined a new term Gross National Happiness (GNH) in 1972 for criticism to his poorly growing economy. The four pillars of GNH are the promotion of equitable and sustainable socio-economic development, preservation and promotion of cultural values, conservation of the natural environment, and establishment of good governance. This has given new way to human society which enabled them to think beyond industrial development and think of ‘human’. Oh we have deviated from main topic and got more technical. So dear what should we do to attain HAPPINESS (trillon dollar ? )?


So let me start first and share with you few of my secrets which are 100% my copyright and anyone using it has to pay royalty :-).


1. Enjoy others success especially of ur near ones. This will prolong ur happiness.
2. Try to help other as much as possible (‘Neki kar dariya main daal’ it holds true even today). Always keep the credit of goodness because u never know when will you need it.
3. Always feel yourself in other’s shoe when taking any decision which affects surrounding. What you expect from other you should practice urself. Because you know that charity begins at home.
4. Try to make ‘true’ friends. Just ask question to urself that whether do u have one? If NO then there is short coming. I think you are firm believer of Don Corleone (of GOD FATHER) who says that “Nothing is personal in life everything is business “and business are never done with friends.
5. Money is means to live life not life.
6. Last, but not the least is you need to pay for your deeds in this life; there is nothing called Heaven or Hell where the scores are going to settle.


So did you have hint to be happy? Do you have few more tricks and techniques? Let the ideas flow.

Why are you unhappy?


I could think of these few reason of unhappiness.
1. You always think that whole of ur life is full of troubles and others are simply enjoying.
2. You never find someone to help you in ur dark hours.
3. You always find some people’s behavior rude towards you.
4. You want to share lots of thing with other but question is whom to trust?
5. You never had enough money to do smthing.
6. Why such bad things always happen to me?


Now just try to map each point from ways to happy with different point s of unhappiness. It is just one - 1 mapping.

Were you able to map them? Give a thought to each one of them. Relax and think.


Hope to c u happy soooon!

Good one....some of my(stolen) thoughts.

To be Contented (not happy) has been greatly emphasized in Indian philosophy. The greatest barrier in achieving happiness is trying to achieve it.

A man may not become happy after achieving something, but they surely get distressed with not attaining what he wants.

Not trying to achieve everything may not give you happiness but surely will keep get you less suffered.

As Mark Twain once said "Happiness ain't a thing in itself,it's only a contrast with something that ain't pleasant."

Thus let one try not to achieve happiness. Let it come.

"...as happy as a dog with two tails."

True, Gaurav. As they say, beauty lies in smaller details. Happiness actually is derived from very smaller things in life. I loved the book and truly believe in these lines --- "Invest in the human family. Invest in people... Build a little community of those you love and who love you."
